As Trauma Never Happened

The experiences you went through, whether good or bad, at the moment of their happening THEY WERE REAL, TRUE AND TANGIBLE.

After that, those experiences are turned into thoughts and memories, like when your REAL FOOD TURN TO FAT AND OTHER THINGS. The good thing is you can BURN your fat that was one day your real food. I’m not talking about food and fat here, just explaining things for you to clarify you can burn your experience or alter it because they are thoughts now, that you have authority over. Maybe the experience itself you didn’t have authority over, but you have authority over the converted experience or outcome.

It’s a big subject and I’m trying to summarize!

The blood of Jesus forgave you and purified you. If you don’t know what’s that, you need to study deeply about redemption because it’s way more than just going to heaven.

The blood of Jesus may not wipe out your experience because it happened in time but it has the authority to burn it as though it didn’t happen or alter it to another scenario because God can and is creative!

YOU ARE ONLY LEFT WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS. You were right from the beginning and you weren’t wronged at all.

When you wash your dirty white shirt, can you tell it was dirty or had a different reality than white? NO. It’s just a brand-new shirt with no record of history. LOVE KEEPS NO RECORD!

Be blessed with a new beginning…

God bless you

Ascending From Glory To Glory

Psalm 24 marks 2024, a year of ascension for God’s people across diverse levels. The humble, by the Lord’s hand, shall rise to positions of power, for servanthood and Gospel advancement. I prophesy in Jesus’ name, you are among them!

You traversed it all, brother! You dwelled in “caves,” consuming the fare of persecution, tribulation, and preparation. Some, perplexed, asked, “Why?” Some contemplated quitting, doubting God’s goodness. BUT by His grace, you persevered and made it, and THIS IS YOUR YEAR!

Your name shall be summoned, demands placed upon you. You will experience spiritual joy serving God and others, yet your heart will remain captivated by the ONE. I see you, friend, adorned in new garments for the new season. As Joseph emerged from his prolonged preparation, embracing forgiveness, his name was called, and they bade him shave and don the new, for the old had passed.

God, through you and in you, in Jesus’ name, is about to do something NEW. Amen! … Say YES!

God bless you,

You Are a Power House of Prayer

Prayer, prayer, prayer … you’ve read the book, watched the sermons, taken the course, and done it all. No matter how much you invest in prayer, it remains not much compared to the huge unfathomable revelations on the power of prayer and God’s continuous invite to immerse yourself. Why prayer? I believe simply because in the dynamic of praying you release faith in God which is THE requirement and surrender your will to his, where miracles happen!

I am not writing to spill an exhaustive teaching on prayer but because it is the will of the Holy Spirit in this devotion to breathe on this topic again. One of the greatest things you need to know about prayer is that it is your identity way before it is a performance or an expression. You are a royal priesthood. Jesus, Yeshua, said, “My Father’s house is a house of prayer and not a den of thieves.” You are the temple of the Holy Spirit; you are a house filled with dormant incense that awakens and burns under the hot coals of your faith. “The prayer of the righteous avails much in power.” James 5:16

If a history of prayer birthed to our world the MESSIAH, our salvation, and then a 10-day prayer meeting in the upper room birthed the CHURCH, I think this should tell you and me greatly about the power of partnering with the Lord in prayer. Whether it is a one-day prayer or standing on the promises to build momentum for accumulative prayers for your bowl to tip (See Revelation 5), prayer remains the entrance of the divine to our world. Even Satanists know this, imitating God’s priestly model for a black church.

It is a fresh start for all of us now; don’t be distracted by many things. If you need to eliminate everything and KEEP just ONE thing, lock in prayer. I always say and live this saying, “Pray more, work less.” Why? Because when you travail in prayer, God will do the rest through you and for you. You will feel and see the hand of the Lord moving, as Kathryn Kuhlman used to say, “Drawing on the invisible supernatural power of God.” Prayer doesn’t only express faith and surrender to the Lord but also humility because you are declaring before God that you need Him for everything, and then grace which is God’s power is released with humility.

The Holy Spirit in you is a praying Spirit, and He has one goal and focus: connecting your spirit man with your great high priest in Heaven, Yeshua, and releasing perfect prayers through you to bring down God’s perfect will, life, and blessings. I believe you are a prayer giant for His glory and the world depends on it! Amen.

Paul and James: On Justification

The book of James is one of the most important topics to cover when it comes to faith and works. James is believed by many people to contradict Paul, especially in the book of Romans, making the case that works are an essential component to be the evidence of our faith. While James writes that faith without works is dead, just as the body without the spirit is, Paul states that he who does work will not be made righteous; however, those who do not work but believe in him who justifies the ungodly, their faith is counted as righteousness (Romans 4:4-5).

Both Paul and James become clear that they do not contradict each other but how do they agree without excluding one of these two concepts? Since both of them believe that grace comes through faith alone, works would not add to that according to James, who writes:

“You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

He presents the point that even demons believe in the existence of God, so how can works apart from faith be useless? Depending on how you interpret the context of what James says and how Abraham was justified by works, we can settle to a point with Paul. Whereas faith without works is dead only in the eyes of men, not in the eyes of God. If that is the case, how is faith made evident according to what other parts of scripture says about the fruit of the spirit? Most people believe that the fruit of the spirit (or works) means to gradually abandon sin or, by having corresponding actions, to go along with our faith.

One of the most common reasons why people believe you must still abandon sin is told in John’s epistle: “No one who abides in him makes a practice of sinning; for whoever is born of God does not sin; you cannot keep on sinning by being in him.” Since he appeared in order to take away our transgressions, there is no sin in our new creation that’s within us, but as for our mortal body, sin still exists daily; it is part of our natural human instinct.

So works never involve deeds of the law as evidence of faith. Whether good works signify our faith is another matter to look at further. As for our sinful nature, which has broken the law of God, that is what the cross was for—to replace us from dying in the flesh—by his work alone, in order to live free according to the spirit.

If Christ’s righteousness is applied to us, then how can the law itself ever negate self-righteousness? For if you mix the law together, what grace could you receive, if Christ didn’t cover it fully? By his atoning sacrifice, his death, after living a perfect life, was sufficient enough to cover the full penalty. What works can add any value to that establishment for us on earth? We were called to be like him through only one way that can grow. Therefore, we should always look to spread his word through the willingness of the holy spirit.

In free grace theology, contrary to lordship salvation (where one must submit to God), opposes that we must gradually obey the law through the process of sanctification. Neither do good works or deeds of the law ever lay the foundation of our faith; all works are as filthy rags, as stated in the book of Isaiah:

“All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like a polluted garment” (v. 64:6).

However, those without corresponding actions may have denied him by not living according to the heart of the gospel teachings. Only by the fruit of this spirit — love, peace, joy, kindness, patience and forbearance — can faith become evident (Galatians 5:22). Those are the corresponding points to what Paul and James taught on the doctrine of justification.

Life In Your DNA

Death was never God’s plan for mankind, but we know from the Bible that death entered our world because of sin. God provided the solution, the antidote for death, through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice that brings redemption to us when we receive him. God is LIFE! You will never find a place in the Bible where God announces he is DEATH or causes it. The Lord is the author of life and he came to give you life abundantly. (See John 10)

Why it is important to have the right belief in God? Because if you don’t, you will take anything you face in this life as part of it and its design. BUT not everything in this life was designed by God. Again, death was never God’s will for us and will never be. God provided the solution, and he works things for our good. He remembers mercy in the judgment.

Many things in this life have become natural and part of our daily beliefs. Your beliefs, whether good or bad, will always fuel your faith. If you believe anti-aging for example is God’s design, you will not see it as your enemy, thus you will befriend the idea, embrace it, and never fight it or push against it by the power of LIFE that resides within you by the Holy Spirit. Yes, you will grow old, but who said you need to age? Did you know that aging in science is considered a disease and many parties and labs are working to cure it? Thank God for that and I love breakthrough technologies, but as for you and me, we first have God as our source for everything, before anything else that is made available to us.

I am believing, and it is my firm belief, that I will grow old but won’t age because I know God, his nature, and his word. God loves it when you discover this revelation and seek after it. God can’t deny his nature, will, and word. So knowing him as the LIFE GIVER, and seeking him to provide life for you in every shape and form, will be met by him. He is faithful to his nature and word and will never fail you.

Have you ever thought about why mankind hates and fights ferociously disease, anti-aging, and some things too? Simply because God has put eternity in the heart of everyone and WE KNOW deep inside that death is not made for us, nor our spirits, souls, and bodies. Death is an enemy of God and an enemy of YOURS. Can you recognize it? Because if you don’t, you will partake of it like every other person who is familiar with it. I believe you are aware that death is your enemy and that LIFE is your portion in your core.

God bless you
