With God
“Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord!” Eze.37:4
To go from death to life, you must realize that to go from desire to result, you need prophetic action. You have been getting prophetic messages into your dry bone situations already. There are two things when it comes to prophetic messages. The first thing you and I must know is that prophetic messages are instructed. The Bible says Jesus has made us kings and priests unto God. God’s prophetic instruction to you is, “…say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord!” Read the rest of this entry
Principle Of Honor
“You must present one-tenth of the tithe received from the Israelites as a sacred offering to the Lord. This is the Lord’s sacred portion, and you must present it to Aaron the priest” Num.18:28 [emphasis added]
At one of our vigils, worship was really intense and beautiful, and I felt the Lord say that people owe Him tithe and He wanted to forgive them. I have never heard that before. We were taught that if you owe God tithe, you will pay back with twenty-five percent interest. Have you heard that before? But the Holy Spirit said He wants to wipe it off. Holy Spirit can mess up your theology. He is God and He reserves the right to do as He pleases.
Persistent Faith
“I tell you, He will defend and protest and avenge them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [persistence in] faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8 [AMP]
Even if you die believing, die believing. Believe God! “Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?” Luke 18:6-8. The problem with us is that we give up so easily in our hearts. Believe me it is a problem. Jesus says, “But how much of that kind of Read the rest of this entry
Believe God
“Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God… I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours” Mark 11:22 & 24 [emphasis added].
Desire always precedes result. If you read the book of Ezekiel, you will see that Ezekiel was a man that was loaded with a burden for the nation of Israel. For you to go from death to life, desire always precedes results. You must have a burden; a burning desire must be in your heart. Some of us have lost the desire for healing. You do not even have the burning desire to see yourself healed. Some of us have lost the desire to see our loved ones get saved. We used to Read the rest of this entry
Learn To Obey III
“Naaman’s servants came near and said to him, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, wouldn’t you have done it? Doesn’t it make more sense just to do it? After all, he only told you, ‘Wash, and you will be clean’” 2 Kings 5:13 [NCV]
There are people that God has put in your life to speak into your life so you can become stronger. “Elisha sent Naaman a messenger who said, “Go and wash in the Jordan River seven times. Then your skin will be healed, and you will be clean.” Naaman became angry and left. He said, “I thought Elisha would surely come out and stand before me and call on the name of the Lord his God. I thought he would wave his hand over the place and heal the disease” 2 Kings 5:10-11 [NCV]. When you take instructions, you are doing yourself a favor. You are the one that will become stronger.

Learn To Obey II
“…This little girl served Naaman’s wife. She said to her mistress, “I wish my master would meet the prophet who lives in Samaria. He would cure him of his disease” 2 Kings 5:2-3 [NCV]
You must have the ability to identify an instruction and to obey it. Guess what? In a community, an instruction can come from downward vertical. God can use someone that is under you to talk to you. He can; He is God! God caused a donkey to talk to a Prophet. It can be horizontally. You can get an instruction from God from your peers. And obviously, it can be upward vertical. When God uses someone to give you an instruction, mostly, it is not something Read the rest of this entry
Contributions
“How could one person chase a thousand of them, and two people put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?” Deu.32:30
When God gives you an instruction to give something and you hold on to it, that thing is marked for consumption. For instance, God says give your pen to that lady. If you obey and give her the pen, it gets credited to your account in heaven where thieves cannot reach it. However, if you hold on to the pen you are holding on to something that does not belong to you. You are holding on to something heaven has labeled “for takes”. I know this may sound rather Read the rest of this entry
Value Treatment
“The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.” Mark 12:31 [emphasis added].
This is how I live my life and this is how I suggest you live your life. Treat everyone below you exactly how you would want them to treat you if you were below them. Who is below you today? Domestic staff? Treat your house help, your cook, your gateman the same way you want him or her to treat you if you were working for them. It will change your life. I know some people will struggle with this because they cannot imagine being the house help or gate man or cook. I know what I am asking you to do is a hard thing but it is the way to your freedom. Your driver, treat him how Read the rest of this entry
On Fire!
“Each one of you will put to flight a thousand of the enemy, for the LORD your God fights for you, just as he has promised” Josh.23:10 [emphasis added].
If you see someone that appears to be able to do more than what is normal or usual, it goes without saying that there is someone else helping that person. Imagine that by the time you wake up in the morning, your seven year old has washed your car, re-parked it facing forward, and left the engine running so the car will be cool by the time you get there. The first thought that would cross your mind would be that he did not do it alone. You will know that someone Read the rest of this entry
Just In Case?
“He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more” John 15:2
#4. Cut Off. In order to simplify my life, there are some things that I actually need to put to rest, some things I actually need to cut off, and some things I have to let go. Many of us have what is called the “pack rat” mentality. The “pack rat” mentality is, no matter how full your wardrobe is, you want to hold on to and keep stuff. Your house is over flowing but you are still holding on to things. If you ask them why they are holding on to these things, the Read the rest of this entry
