In Joshua 1:5 God says: "I will be with you".
We can in the natural only do what we have power to do. When God asks us to do something that is more than what we are can do in our power, He will do the rest we can do.
Jesus said in Acts 1:8: "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you will be my witnesses to the end of the earth".
Traditionally the church trust scholarship, logic, genius and philosophy's. But God equipped all of us. The Apostle Paul says in 1Cor 1:27: "God has chosen the foolish things.." The real growth in the body of believers comes from the simple message of the Gospel touching all classes of people. Our human wisdom says preach the Gospel through the wisdom of words. But the Spirit of God will let the Word grow not human wisdom that try and get people to take the side of Jesus, trying to persuade people. We are not lawyers to defend the Gospel to try and get the favour of Jesus to people, no the Word says we must be witnesses!!
We do not have to argue and plead the case of Jesus, no like witnesses on the stand in the court room we must speak the truth saying what we know.
Acts 2:32: "This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses"
We were not witnesses at the actual Resurrection but the Resurrection has transformed us. We must proclaim the evidence and we watch the power of God come down, as people receive and believe the good news of Jesus Christ.
Be Blessed in Jesus name.

Free from the law of sin and death
Just a short snippet for today. I haven't been publishing anything for a while but here we go, a new day a new beginning.
There is a place called “there” which is the secret place where God dwells, the Holy of Holies where the throne of Grace and the seat of Mercy is. There is no evil temper, no irritability, no lies in the secret place. All evil is swept away while one is dwelling in the presence of the Almighty; in the covering of God. Even the best of humanity, if from the devil, it is not good, and cannot remain in God's presence. Nothing unholy can remain in His presence. That is why God send His son Jesus to destroy ALL the works of the devil (1 John 3:8).
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh.Romans 8:3
God sent Jesus in the mightiness of His power. He send Him in flesh and in the midst of flesh, He condemned it. The law of the Spirit of life was destroying all that must be destroyed. Dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God, we then are above all in Him: He that is above all and through all and in you all.This is a fact, not in human nature, but in God. It is the gift of God from Heaven. WE belong to the new creation, and we are in a wonderful place in life. It is a life free from the law of sin and death. Can we keep ourselves there? GOD can keep us there.He never forgets to keep me.My father has many dear children;But He never forgets to keep me. Has He forgotten you? No! He cannot forget. God has much in store for you; you are far from being out of His thoughts.

Hope continue.....
Let’s continue on hope.
Jesus said, "I am with you always, I'll never leave you nor forsake you." In the book of Matthew, He says, I'll be with you "to the end of the age."
In Proverbs, He says, "A God who sticks to you closer than a brother."
Sometimes we think that God leaves us in the time of adversity. God is with you through thick and thin. He's with you through the good times as well as the bad. There's a scripture that says, "God holds his children in the palm of his hand and no man can snatch you away from him." What a promise that is.
God is very aware-He knows exactly what we're going through. He sees our struggle. He sees every tear we've shed. He sees every sleepless night we've had. He knows exactly what we're going through. He's heard every single prayer that we've prayed.
I think He is very concerned. After all, we are his most prized possessions. And He's saying to you today, "Whatever you do, don't lose your hope". He's going to see you through.
The Bible says in Hebrews 4:15 that "God can be touched with the feelings of our infirmities." You know Jesus was here. He lived on this earth for 33 years. He knows what it's like to face the trials and struggles and the hardships of life. He himself has been down.
He himself, the Bible says, was depressed at one time. He was in agony of spirit. He knows what it is to feel sorrow and pain. He's been there just like you have and just like I have. And that's why the Bible says a couple verses later, that's why you've got to "boldly come to the throne of grace so that you may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
See you always keep your hope up if you can just remember that in the midst of adversity God is on your side. God is on your side. If God be for you, who can be against you? You've got to begin to dwell upon the great I am. Not the "Great I was" or the "Great I used to be but the great I AM".
You've got to remember He's a present tense God. He's the Great I Am. He will never change.
And we must remember that God is a God of the now. He's the Great I Am. He's present tense. He's available now to meet your needs. Always remember, he is and will always be the Great I Am. He's the God of the now. Hope is connected to your dream. Never, ever lose your hope. And always be hoping for something. God doesn't want you to remain stagnant.
Listen to what Jeremiah says. Talking about people that hope. 17:7. "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and has made the Lord his hope and confidence. He is like a tree planted along a riverbank, with its roots reaching deep into the water--a tree not bothered by the heat nor worried by long months of drought. Its leaves stay green and it goes right on producing fruit."
That's talking about people that hope in the Lord. They have a firm foundation. Their roots go way, way down deep. And in the time of adversity and hardship, one translation says they cannot only sustain it, but right in the midst of the adversity, "they go right on producing luscious fruit." This is not talking about fly-by-night, fair-weathered Christians that only come to church when they feel like it. Or serve God when they feel like it. This is talking about people just like you and me. People who wholeheartedly serve God; that have a desire to please God in all areas of their lives. People that want to be used by God for a-you know as a vessel of gold in these last days.
Never, ever lose your hope. Always hope in the great I am. Hope in the Lord. David said., "Lord, you alone are my hope. I've trusted you from childhood. Yes, you have been with me from birth and helped me constantly. No wonder I'm always praising you."
If you're ever tempted to ask that little simple question, "Is there any hope?" remember this answer from David. As long as our God is alive, there will always be hope. Jesus said, "If you can only believe, all things are possible."
We want to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of your life if you haven’t yet. The Bible says, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." I want to give you that opportunity right now. Just pray this simple prayer. Say, Jesus, come into my life. Be my Lord and be my Savior. I want to serve You all the days of my life.

HOPE
Psalm 31.
Life is a fight. And if we're going to fight life through effectively, we need to use the principals and the guidelines of God's Word.
Jesus said very clearly in John 16:33: "In this life, you will have trouble." One translation says, "You'll have frustration, hardship, and distress." But I thank God He didn't stop there. Jesus went on to say, "But be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
The gospel message is a message...it's a message of hope. The very word "gospel" means "good news". And the good news is God wants each and every one of you to come out of that adversity victoriously. God wants you to live an overcoming victorious Christian life.
1st Corinthians, "Thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph." The Bible says in Romans, "In all these things we are more than conquerors." God said in Isaiah that there is "no weapon that is going to be formed against you that will prosper. The Bible says, "If God be for us, who can be against you."
We want to encourage you to never, ever lose your hope. Your hope is like a dream.
You've got to keep that dream alive. If you don't have any hope you're not going to have any need to have any faith. Because the Bible says that "faith is the substance of things hoped for." Hope is so important. And the key is to always hope in the Lord. Then you won't be disappointed.
Let’s have a look at what David said there in Psalms 31, verse 23. "Oh, love the Lord, all his saints. For the Lord preserves the faithful and fully repays the proud person. Be of good courage and he shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord."
And you know, the cry today is. "Is there any hope?" People all say the same thing, I just can't take it any more." the same question: "is there any hope?"
The good news is we serve the God of all hope.
You know what you're going through today. I don't know how dark and hopeless it may seem in the natural. But I want you to be assured of one thing. That as long as our God is alive there will always be hope. Never, ever lose your hope. Jesus said, "The things that are impossible with men are possible with God."
Convince a man that there is no hope and you've done the worst possible thing in the world for him. If we have hope, we’ll start to have faith. And faith is what moves God to act.
Don't lose your hope. God will make a difference.
Jesus said, "He came that we might have life and have it more abundantly." John said, "Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers." In other words, the Holy Spirit was saying that God's greatest desire for us as his children is that we would live an overcoming victorious Christian life. Our God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that you can ask or think. And God can make a way where there seems like there is no way.
One key to keep your hope up in the midst of adversity is you've got to get your eyes off your circumstances and you've got to turn your focus upward to your all-powerful God. What you dwell on you enlarge, you empower. If you're always thinking about how bad life is treating you and how negative everything is and how difficult your situation is; you're just making that bigger. You're going to be a negative person.
If you're always thinking about the goodness of God, if you're always dwelling on His greatness and His power and His majesty, then you're going to be filled with hope and you're going to be filled with faith. The bigger you make your God, the smaller you make your problems.
I love the piece in Exodus where Moses came up to God and he said, "God when I go back to the children of Israel, they're going to ask me what Your name is. What should I tell them God?" And I can just imagine God thinking about it and saying, "Moses, that's a good question, let Me think about it. I'll get back with you." So God says, "You know, maybe I'll tell them..." He thought about it and He said, "Maybe I'll tell them My name is Jehovah Jireh, the Lord their Provider." And God thought about it and He said, "No, no I'm much more than a provider. Maybe I'll tell them I'm Jehovah Rapha, the Lord their Healer." He said, "No, no, that'd be limiting Me too. Maybe I'll tell them My name is Jehovah Shama, the Lord who is Always Present." But once again, He said, "No, I'm much more than that. Maybe I'll tell them My name is Jehovah Shalom, the Lord their Peace." And then again, He said, "You know what? None of those names are going to work." He said, "Moses come over here. I've got it. I'll tell you what you can tell them. You go back and tell them my name is "I Am that I Am".
We serve the Great I Am. In other words, I am whatever you need. Do you need salvation? The Bible says, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Do you need healing? The Bible says, "By the stripes of Jesus we were healed." Do you need power? Jesus said, "I give you power over all the power of the enemy." Do you need strength? The Bible says, "We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us." Do you need hope? The Bible says in Colossians 1:27 that "Christ in us is the hope of glory." Do you need courage? The Bible says, God said, "Fear thou not for I am with you. Be not dismayed for I am your God. I will help you. I will strengthen you. I will withhold you with my right hand of righteousness."
We want you to be inspired to have hope, knowing that God can do anything. Jeremiah said, "Wow God, you've made the heavens and the earth by your great power and nothing is too difficult for thee."
He loves each and every one of you individually. He's your Father.
Have you ever thought about the fact that your very own Father not only created everything, but He's the one that's still in charge of everything. Can't you imagine? We can expect some pretty terrific benefits as well. Listen to what Galatians 4:6 says in the Living Bible.
And because we are His children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts. So now we can rightly speak of God as our dear Father. We are no longer slaves but God's own children. And since we are His children, everything He has belongs to us for that is the way He planned it.
You are a son not a slave to hopelessness.
Bless you

Liberated sons in the house of God
We read that you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free (John 8:32). The truth sets you free. John 8:35-36 says that a servant or a slave does not abide in the house forever, but the son shall be in the house forever. People not in the house are the people that are not free, the truth has not yet touched them. The opposite of freedom is bondage or Law. Gal 5:1 (KJV) stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. You are either a servant of sin and unrighteousness, or you are a son of the Living God. To stay in the house you've got to get to the Son, The author and finisher of our faith will set us free.
Gal 5:1 (Amplified) In [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off].
Christ has set us free do not come under the law and bondage again. We must stand in the freedom, and persevere then you will be free indeed. There is victory in walking in total freedom and liberty. There is nothing like knowing that you are a son of God and that you are in the house of God. You are not a foreigner and a stranger, but you are part of the house of God, you are family.
Rom 8:19-21 (Amplified) For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship]. For the creation (nature) was subjected to frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him, Who so subjected it-[yet] with the hope [Eccl 1:2]. That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of god's children.
Rom 8:21 (KJV) Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of god.
The whole creation is waiting to be liberated and to be set free. That will happen when God's children are free and walk in their freedom or liberty as sons. People must walk in liberty and in freedom, but are walking under judgments, weights, misunderstandings and sin. If we say that we are walking in liberty, where is our joy- complete joy, our peace- total peace and our life, life more abundantly? Christians come to church and walk out bound. They receive weights, rather than freedom in church. They look at one another and when the one does not greet the other, he nor she is offended and is weighed down. When you say that someone did not greet you, you are saying that you are not free. You are saying that you are not in the house and you are bound to your senses that are playing tricks on you.
Jesus was not at all distracted by the Pharisees and Sadducees and Scribes that were criticizing and judging Him. Jesus simply told the man with the withered hand to stretch it out and he was healed. They were mad and kept on finding fault, but He knew what He was going to do. Jesus asked them if they would not loose or rescue a bound animal on the Sabbath. He was actually asking them about getting God's people free who were bound. Jesus told them that He was free and that is why He is a Son. He was saying to them that they are bound and that is why they are servants.
In John 8:32 when Jesus told them that they shall know the truth and that it shall set them free, they said that they were not bound or a slave to anyone. They said that they were born free and children of Abraham. Jesus told them that if they were Abraham's children, they would do the works of Abraham. Jesus told them that they were slaves and they were bound and that the devil was their father. Jesus was talking to the religious crowds.
Get away from the sin and the weights. Get away from the bondage and the legalistic stuff of the flesh. Get into the freedom and the liberty of the Spirit. Walk in that freedom and liberty, because that is what creation is waiting for. If they see your freedom and liberty, they will be liberated. Sickness is bondage and when we touch the people, they are liberated and they get healed. When we speak to the storms they listen to those that are free.
Creation is liberated when we are liberated. Creation is free when we are free.
Gal 5:1 (Amplified) In [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off].
Christ has set us free do not come under the law and bondage again. We must stand in the freedom, and persevere then you will be free indeed. There is victory in walking in total freedom and liberty. There is nothing like knowing that you are a son of God and that you are in the house of God. You are not a foreigner and a stranger, but you are part of the house of God, you are family.
Rom 8:19-21 (Amplified) For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship]. For the creation (nature) was subjected to frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him, Who so subjected it-[yet] with the hope [Eccl 1:2]. That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of god's children.
Rom 8:21 (KJV) Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of god.
The whole creation is waiting to be liberated and to be set free. That will happen when God's children are free and walk in their freedom or liberty as sons. People must walk in liberty and in freedom, but are walking under judgments, weights, misunderstandings and sin. If we say that we are walking in liberty, where is our joy- complete joy, our peace- total peace and our life, life more abundantly? Christians come to church and walk out bound. They receive weights, rather than freedom in church. They look at one another and when the one does not greet the other, he nor she is offended and is weighed down. When you say that someone did not greet you, you are saying that you are not free. You are saying that you are not in the house and you are bound to your senses that are playing tricks on you.
Jesus was not at all distracted by the Pharisees and Sadducees and Scribes that were criticizing and judging Him. Jesus simply told the man with the withered hand to stretch it out and he was healed. They were mad and kept on finding fault, but He knew what He was going to do. Jesus asked them if they would not loose or rescue a bound animal on the Sabbath. He was actually asking them about getting God's people free who were bound. Jesus told them that He was free and that is why He is a Son. He was saying to them that they are bound and that is why they are servants.
In John 8:32 when Jesus told them that they shall know the truth and that it shall set them free, they said that they were not bound or a slave to anyone. They said that they were born free and children of Abraham. Jesus told them that if they were Abraham's children, they would do the works of Abraham. Jesus told them that they were slaves and they were bound and that the devil was their father. Jesus was talking to the religious crowds.
Get away from the sin and the weights. Get away from the bondage and the legalistic stuff of the flesh. Get into the freedom and the liberty of the Spirit. Walk in that freedom and liberty, because that is what creation is waiting for. If they see your freedom and liberty, they will be liberated. Sickness is bondage and when we touch the people, they are liberated and they get healed. When we speak to the storms they listen to those that are free.
Creation is liberated when we are liberated. Creation is free when we are free.

Incorruptable Seed
Luke 1:30-34a (Amplified) And the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace (free, spontaneous, absolute favor and loving-kindness) with God. And listen! You will BECOME PREGNANT AND WILL GIVE BIRTH TO A SON, and you shall call His name Jesus. He will be great (eminent) and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to Him the throne of His forefather David, And He will reign over the house of Jacob throughout the ages; and of His reign there will be no end. [Isaiah 9:6-7; Daniel 2:44] And Mary said to the angel, HOW CAN THIS BE…
Mary told the angel it could not be, that she never had been intimate with a man before. She did not understand spiritual pregnancy yet.
When Holy Spirit overcome you He plants a seed (The Word which is seed) in you. The power of God will cause the pregnancy. Inside of you will be stirred up. You will get excited and on fire.
Hebrews 1:1-3a (Amplified) In many separate revelations [each of which set forth a portion of the Truth] and in different ways God spoke of old to [our] forefathers in and by the prophets, [But] in the last of these days He has SPOKEN TO US in [the person of a] SON, Whom He appointed Heir and lawful Owner of all things, also BY and through WHOM HE CREATED THE WORLDS and the reaches of space and the ages of time [He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order]. He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the PERFECT IMPRINT and VERY IMAGE of [God's] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty WORD OF POWER.
1 Peter 1:23 (Amplified) You have been regenerated (BORN AGAIN), not from a mortal origin (SEED, sperm), but from one that is immortal by the ever living and lasting WORD OF GOD.
We are born again from that incorruptible seed, The Word of God. That seed was planted there by Holy Spirit. That seed become pregnant and you can give birth to a son of God. Galatians 2:20a (KJV) I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but CHRIST LIVETH IN ME…
This is exciting and challenging to know. Creation is waiting for the manifestation of Christ in His people. That seed that has been planted in you by Holy Spirit must grow up into maturity and the sons of God will rise up in power. They will walk like Christ, look like Christ, and be like Christ.
When man and women make love a seed is planted which must grow for it to form a life, then only can a baby be born. Remember, intimacy causes pregnancy, so get intimate with God.
Galatians 3:16,29 (Amplified) Now the promises (covenants, agreements) were decreed and made to Abraham and his SEED (his Offspring, his Heir). He [God] does not say, And to seeds (descendants, heirs), as if referring to many persons, but, And to your Seed (your Descendant, your Heir), obviously referring to one individual, Who is [none other than] Christ (the Messiah). [Genesis 13:15; 17:8] … And if you belong to Christ [are in Him who is Abraham's Seed], then you are Abraham's offspring and [spiritual] heirs according to promise.
Jesus left earth to return to heaven, but He left Holy Spirit with us forever. The seed Word planted in us will grow and we will become mature sons of God.
John 14:12,16 (Amplified) I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to DO THE THINGS THAT I DO; and he will DO EVEN GREATER THINGS than these, because I go to the Father. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you ANOTHER Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever-
People will see Jesus in you, demons will flee, the sick healed, the dead raised, leapers cleansed and the Gospel will be preached with power.
Some are born again and some people just confess it with their mouths. Being saved could be only a confession with the mouth, but to be born again (from above) means that Holy Spirit has planted that seed of the Word in you. This is a divine act of Holy Spirit and not only a confession of salvation, although the confession can bring a person to open up to Holy Spirit to be born again.
1 Peter 1:23 (Amplified) You have been regenerated (BORN AGAIN), not from a mortal origin (SEED, sperm), but from one that is immortal by the ever living and lasting WORD OF GOD.
The Word of God is like sperm, it contains all the life that God has. No Word from God is void or without power. All those who hear the word of God (incorruptible seed) can be pregnant with the word and that can change their lifes forever.

Grace vs Condemnation
When you live under the law condemnation will fill your life. Now we have a choice because of Jesus, Grace or condemnation and believe me Grace is better. Jesus came to give us Grace not condemnation. John 3:13-18 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (NKJV).
Jesus became Grace, there is fullness in His grace. John 1:15-17 John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.' " 16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. (NKJV). Here we can see that fullness is His Grace, it is out of Hiss fullness that we received grace. The fullness of the grace of Jesus can never be emptied. You cannot be bad enough to miss this grace, nor be good enough to make it, it is unmerited favour.
Let us look at the following example of grace: John 8:6-96 This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. 7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." 8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. (NKJV) After Jesus written in the dust for the second time there was nobody saying anything. They left one by one and Grace was left standing in front of the woman. John 8:10-12 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?" 11 She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more." NKJV
That is grace.
Get the law and condemnaion out of your system and let us walk into grace and truth. This is what Jesus gave us when He died on the cross. Receive it by faith.
