The Word of God is near you, in you heart and on your lips

Rom 10:8 But what does it say? The Word (God's message in Christ) is near you, on your lips and in your heart; that is, the Word (the message, the basis and object) of faith which we preach,
10:9 Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10:10 For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.
10:11 The Scripture says, No man who believes in Him [who adheres to, relies on, and trusts in Him] will [ever] be put to shame or be disappointed.
10:12 [No one] for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. The same Lord is Lord over all [of us] and He generously bestows His riches upon all who call upon Him [in faith].
10:13 For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord [invoking Him as Lord] will be saved.
10:14 But how are people to call upon Him Whom they have not believed [in Whom they have no faith, on Whom they have no reliance]? And how are they to believe in Him [adhere to, trust in, and rely upon Him] of Whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?
10:15 And how can men [be expected to] preach unless they are sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings! [How welcome is the coming of those who preach the good news of His good things!]
10:16 But they have not all heeded the Gospel; for Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed (had faith in) what he has heard from us?
10:17 So faith comes by hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the preaching [of the message that came from the lips] of Christ (the Messiah Himself).

The Word of God is alive and active. It is the person Jesus Christ Himself. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. How wil we really speak the word of faith? How will the power of the Word of Faith tuly dwell in our heart?

The Word became flesh in the Body of Jesus Christ. Jesus said that those who have his teachings and keeps them are the ones who really love Him, and He will come and abide with them (John14:21-23). In John 15 Jesus said:
15:3 You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you].
15:4 Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.
15:5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.

If the Word of God dwells in us richly (Col 3:16), the person Jesus Christ abides in us. He is the Word. Then this same word abides in us, and becomes flesh in us. Just as Jesus was born from above, we are then also born from God (John 1: 13) and we can do whatever He did and even greater (John 14:12).

Now, if the Word of God dwells richly in our hearts, there is an abundance of Word in us. In Matt 12 Jesus speaks to the Pharisees:
Matt 12:33 Either make the tree sound (healthy and good), and its fruit sound (healthy and good), or make the tree rotten (diseased and bad), and its fruit rotten (diseased and bad); for the tree is known and recognized and judged by its fruit.
12:34 You offspring of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil (wicked)? For out of the fullness (the overflow, the superabundance) of the heart the mouth speaks.
12:35 The good man from his inner good treasure flings forth good things, and the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse flings forth evil things.

It will have only have religious value to take the Word of God on your lips and confess it mechanically. Do you want to be religious and miserable, or do you want the power? The power lies in when we receive the Word into our hearts. When the Word becomes flesh in us, when He dwells in us, our hearts have abundance of Word. Out of that abundance we habitually speak, and whatever we say we shall have.

Mark 11:22 And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly].
11:23 Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.
11:24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].

Faith comes by hearing (Rom10:17). We need to hear the Word and receive it in our hearts. That opens our spiritual ears, and we are able to hear the Word, the Person Jesus Christ who abides in us. We can then follow His promptings. We can then be led by the Spirit, and do what He prompts us. That will result in us having power, and the Word which is in us will be spoken in authority.

You can not change your amount of faith. You can not will the power of God. It abides in you. It is only received by receiving the Person, Who is the Word. That Word speaks in us, and tremendous faith is released. The more we hear and receive the Word of Faith, the more faith will dwell in us, and the more we will have what we say. It's all about Jesus Christ.

You can't change what you produce, but you can change what you hear. Hearing the Word, will produce faith and goldy works in your life. It will produce and intimate experience with the Person Jesus Christ Who is the Word.

Rom 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].

Bless you

What happened next?

This post goes with the previous one, so read the previous one first...

I went back to Mamelodi yesterday. I printed out 66 sermons of Prophet Kobus van Rensburg, had it bound, prayed over it, and anointed it with anointing oil. This 450 page book is full of teaching material of the prophet, scripture upon scripture. The pastor from Zambia asked if he could get material, and I decided to bring him enough to feed his hunger for the word. He was really blessed to receive it. I also gave him a big crucifix.

He then testified about what happed right after I left the day before. He got a message from the Council. They had just had a meeting in which they decided to give him a piece of land, fenced with palisade fencing, which also has a building on it. The land has enough space to hold a decent crusade, so its quite big. All the paperwork is being done, and he could get occupation immediately. The school next door approached him an hour later and said, although they declined his application to come and minister to the children, they just decided that they want him to come and minister to the children in the school. He was practically begging them for months and they said no. All of a sudden they approached him and asked him to come.

This is the grace of God! This man's life was not only changed in an instant, but he got a major breakthrough. When I met him yesterday, he said: "I have to be strong now, I feel again like I felt yesterday when you prayed for me." I just walked into his house.

I took Thea with me to show her miracles, so we couldn't leave until someone was healed. I prayed for a guy with bad sight, and he saw properly. He could even read my car's registration number from about 50m away. Another man's back pain was healed. Thea prayed for a barren lady who had constant abdominal pain. The pain left instantly, and the lady was healed and blessed. She just wanted to know when we're coming again. Then a couple of other people wanted to know if I could pray for them just for a blessing.

The people who have nothing are open to the Gospel of Jesus Christ like you can't even imagine. I challenge everyone reading this, who obviously have a higher income and livestyle, having access to electricity, and the internet: Open your heart to the Gospel. This is your primary need. There is nothing more important in your life than hearing the Word of God. There is no higher priority than experiencing the presence of God. He is with you, just let Him show you who He is.

Let the Word of God dwell in your hearts richly!

Bless you!

A life changed in an instant

I go to Mamelodi Township in the east of the Pretoria Metropolitan Area, South Africa, and I go there often. Today I went there with Vihann, with no particular plan, but to bring life. The Lord Jesus Christ showed me in a vision that He is the Tree of Life. The fruit of the Tree of Life is His Word. John6:63 says "The flesh has no benefit, but the Words that I speak unto you are spirit and they are life." I have feasted on the Word of God for the past 8 years. What the Lord also showed me, was that the effect of eating the fruit of the Tree of Life, is change. If I eat His Word, I become a tree that bears the same fruit. Ps 1 says: Blessed is the man who walks not after the council of the ungodly, nor stand in the circles of the scoffers, or sit in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the Word of the Lord. He shall be like a tree planted by the living waters! I went with the vision in my heart of being a tree of life to the people there.

I met a pastor from Zambia, who was completely confused by what he had heard from theological studies at UNISA. It bothered him a lot. I just started speaking, and the Lord spoke right into his heart. I told him that the Gospel is Good News, not complicated laws. There is a distinct difference between the Gospel of Christ, and the laws of accusation and condemnation preached in some places. Law and grace can never mix. The old and the new is set apart from each other.


I told him that there are two messages. One is what we must do in order to please God. This is not the Gospel. The other is what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross. This is the Gospel. If someone boasts in revelation, and that revelation is not the Cross of Christ, that is no revelation at all, but human reasoning. There is no revelation of God, apart from the Crucified Christ. Any other revelation is no revelation at all. There is much to reveal about the Cross of Christ. We will still receive revelation on what He did on the cross for all eternity! Paul writes in 1 Cor 2:2 I want to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified, verse 6 "Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known [it], they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
2:10 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

He was set at peace, and felt a great burden leave him. I prayed for him and he felt the power of God moving through him. Then I started telling him about Acts 19

I Acts 19:11-12 cloths that just touched the body of Paul was taken to the sick, and they were healed. The woman with the issue of blood just touched the hem of Jesus' garment (Matt 9:20-21 etc.), and she was healed. So I told him that the anointing of Christ, the physical manifestation of His presence, the power of God can come upon material things like a cloth.

I received a prayer talith from a good friend a couple of years ago. This cloth went with me to all the anointed services I went to. I went through the bath of bethesda (at Spirit Word Ministries, Stilfontein, South Africa - Prophet Kobus van Rensburg) scores of times with this cloth. I was anointed hundreds of times wearing this cloth. The cloth was anointed by the prophet, by another prophet, Marnes Nel, Potchefstroom, and I had very strong real and powerful experiences with God while praying with this cloth. Last week God told me to cut it into pieces, and hand it out to hungry people. So I cut it into 32 pieces, anointed each one with oil I have been praying over for months, also mixed with oil Prophet Kobus prayed over, and oil of Marnes Nel. As I anointed each cloth, I felt the power of God very strongly. On Sunday I started handing out the cloths to people. I had one in my pocket this morning.

I took it out, and told the pastor, that the power of God is on that cloth, and that the spiritual substance of the anointing is resting on that cloth. I explained the scriptures and the reality of it to him. When I gave him the cloth, he fell out under the power like a bag of potatoes. When he came to, he was shaking like a leaf. His whole body was pins and needles. He felt the anointing of God come upon his life. I told him to keep the cloth close to him, and enjoy the experience of the presence of God. Immanuel. God is with us! He couldn't even stand properly. He wanted to walk us back to the car, but couldn't. A hungry heart was touched by the reality of Jesus Christ!

To our Lord Jesus Christ be all glory and honour!

Love

This is the grace of God. That He knew you beforehand, loved you and gave Himself up for you before you even knew anything about it. He knew everything that you were ever going to do. Al the mistakes, all the trouble. Jesus loved you so much that He was moved to become a man. His own people received Him not. They rejected Him, the cursed Him, they crucified Him. Then Gospel went out first to the very ones who crucified Him. As they crucified Him, He said, Father Forgive them, they know not what they do. 1John 4:10 says: "In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins." He was moved with love for you.

How much does He love us? Song of Solomon
1:2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love [is] better than wine.
1:3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name [is as] ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
1:4 Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.

2:1 I [am] the rose of Sharon, [and] the lily of the valleys.
2:2 As the lily among thorns, so [is] my love among the daughters.
2:3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so [is] my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit [was] sweet to my taste.
2:4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me [was] love.
2:5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I [am] sick of love.
2:6 His left hand [is] under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
2:7 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake [my] love, till he please.
2:8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
2:9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.
2:10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

4:7 Thou [art] all fair, my love; [there is] no spot in thee.
4:8 Come with me from Lebanon, [my] spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
4:9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, [my] spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
4:10 How fair is thy love, my sister, [my] spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
4:11 Thy lips, O [my] spouse, drop [as] the honeycomb: honey and milk [are] under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments [is] like the smell of Lebanon.
4:12 A garden inclosed [is] my sister, [my] spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
4:13 Thy plants [are] an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,
4:14 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
4:15 A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
4:16 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, [that] the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.

You are His undefiled one. He washed you in His own blood to purge you from sins. You're not supposed to feel guilty, but to be drunk with love! Do not refuse Him. He does not come to judge you, but to love you. He comes to you. He seeks after you! Don't deny Him. Love seeks after you, a burning love that devours all other thoughts. God loves you dearly. He pours over you. He's awake for you. He longs for you!

Your sins have been forgiven! Your iniquities have been washed. Your unrighteousness have been taken away! You are spotless, pure and beautiful! Do not let the lie and deception of condemnation dwell in your hearts. Do not let the accusing voice lead you away from the Love of you heart. Do not be turned to yourself because of the accusing voice. There is one that accuses, even Moses. Christ is the end of the law. The Devil was a liar from the beginning. He is the accuser of the brethren. He uses the law, which was meant for Christ, and testifies about Christ, to condemn you before God. He was a liar from the beginning. There is no condemnation for you. He loved you while you were yet a sinner. He loved you before you were born. His love for you moved Him to finish all that was written about Him in the Law and the prophets on the cross!
Sin is condemned. Sin is overcome. Sin is broken. Death is defeated. The ruler of the law world has been cast out. The accuser has been cast out of heaven. God will earnestly remember your sins and iniquities no more! (Jer31, Heb8, Heb10) You are truly free.

The experience of condemnation comes from the law. It is a wicked person trying to lead you astray, away from the love of your Holy Husband. The School Master (Law) has gone, The Groom came! We are the Bride of Christ, the Lambs wife. All that remains for us is to eat the fruit of the Tree of Life, and Live. All that remains, is the blissfull fellowship with the One we love! O come on Bride! Open your hearts. Let the Love of Christ flood your senses. Let Him love you.

These are the words to a song that blessed me so much

Kiss me with the kisses of you mouth
Your love is better than wine
Call me with the voice of rushing waters
Call me, and I will run with you.

Jesus, how wonderful you are to me!
Jesus How wonderful you are to me!

I pray that His love will just overtake you and bless you. The intimate love with which He loved us before the foundation of the earth!

Testimonies

Today I got in my car and drove to Mamelodi East. There I met a lady I had prayed for a couple of times. She came with me and lead me to her family in Mamelodi West. Her niece (as far as I can remember) was very sick and weak. I prayed for her and she was really touched by God. I will keep you posted on her condition. For reference sake, her name is Pinky.

Then we went across the road and I prayed for her mother. She had a lot of stress related problems, arthritis, high blood pressure and sugar diabetes. All her pains left her body. She testified that she felt movement in her head when I laid my hands on her head, something flowing in a circular motion. She then described it as steam coming of hot water. All her pains left instantly, and she now has peace and joy. She said that she now has so much energy, she can run to Silverton!

Another lady (the great grandma) had terrible pain in the feet, and pretty much all over her body. She was totally healed instantly. She felt energy and vitality and all the pains left her body. She was very happy.

Another lady (they're all family - I remember her name as Nomsa) had pain in the lower back, feet and she also had the flue. After I laid my hands on her, she also testified that she felt something move into her. Her feet was healed instantly. She experienced a little back pain. I told her to twist her back, and I heard a crackling noise. The pain left instantly and she bent over made a lot of movements without any pain at all! The flue simptoms were also gone.

Then I prayed for the origional lady's son who suffers from epilepsie. I will keep you posted on his condition.

Back in Eastern Mamelodi. I prayed for a business to prosper about a month ago. The shop is now well stocked, and the lady testified that the business kept on growing since then.

To God be all the honour and glory. He is good, and wants to bless His people!

Did you know that you are forgiven already?

You probably never heard this, but restitution has already been made. Your sins are already paid for, you are already forgiven, even before you were born. Nothing you ever do can change the love with which Christ loved you and gave Himself up for you on the cross almost 2000 years ago. He knew you before you were created. He knew all things you were to do wrong in your life, and still He was made manifest on the earth in human form and died a horible death so that your sins might be forgotten.

Nothing you ever do can change what He already did. The thing is, this will never benefit you untill you believe it. You will not receive any benefit of His actions, untill you believe it actually happened, and that He is the Truth. His Spirit witnesses in your heart that this is the Truth, and is ready to change the effect the world has had on you since you were born.

We've all been affected by the world, and the law of this world. This world functions by law, not necessarily written law, but it's governed by law, to which you need to subscribe in order to survive. Law of morality, law of society, law of religiocity, law of friendships, law of business, law of etiquette etc. There is a constant expectation of you to conform to behaviour that is adopted by every person in that particular group who subscribes to that set of norms. If you fail to conform, you are confronted with a definite sanction against you, whether it be social sanction, like people shunning you for a while, or confrontation, or even total rejection of your person.

That is the way the world works. We constantly make the erroneous assumption that it works the same way with God. It simply doesn't. Who do you know other than Christ, that would give himself up for you, pay all your debts, knowing beforehand that you would deny him and turn against him? Who do you know that keeps on loving you without condition, even though you may never respond to that love? The truth is no one. No person, no matter how lovable he is, will be like that in his own character.

Christ loves you with an undying love. He does not expect anything back. All He wants is for you to know how He feels about you. He wants you to thoroughly understand how much He loves you, how much He wants to bless you, and how much He wants to fulfill your every desire. He knows you in and out. He doesn't judge your wrongs, that why He was judged for the world on the cross in the first place. He knows your every liking, because He put it there. All He wants is that you know how much He loves you. You do not know the complete picture. The image you have of Christ is broken and deceitful. He wants to restore your image of His character, so you may realise that He is just there to love you and bless you.

The only reason why people around the world suffer, is because they do not know how much He loves them. The only reason why there is suffering, is because His love is not made manifest by people towards other people. He can not be seen, other than be seen in us. If we know Him, people can see Him in us. He can not help the world other than through us. If we yield to Him, He can rule out all the terrible things happening in the world around us. When you cry, He cries with you, unable to help you until you yield to Him, and His love.

God is sovereign over us. That is the truth, but that is not the reality. When we yield to the Truth, God can be sovereign in reality in our lives. That makes God to be able to rule through us on the earth. Before He made man He said: Let us make man in our image, and let them have dominion. We have the dominion. He will never usurp our authority in earth, yet we yield our members to evil and darkness and blame God for the result.

God forgave your every wrong. He loves you without reserve. Yield to His love, receive what Christ did on the cross for you, and taste and see that the Lord is good! Your live will never be the same. You will only experience the bliss of knowing Him, and being associated with Him. In knowing Him, you are hidden from evil, and inaccesible to danger. God is love. Love never fails!

Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to this blog. I want to share with you my life, and what I now experience through the grace of Jesus Christ
