Keep looking for the Butterflies

Hello People,     

God was speaking to me about BUTTERFLIES. They symbolizes change, talk to God about Wisdom and everlasting Knowledge. Like a Butterfly, we are all different and beautiful in our own way. The key word is METAMORPHOSIS a Butterfly and other things undergo this process. It is symbolic of the spiritual evolution ALL CHRISTIANS go through *** Rebirth & New Beginning ***. We have the new life from and old one *** TRANSFORMATION ***. When you see a BUTTERFLY let is remind you to make changes when the opportunity arises.  People change and transformation are inevitable for us ALL, but it does not to be traumatic. In my Women Group “Women of Inheritance” I have been talking about FREEDOM.

 There is joy, peace, love and etc...

 In GOD. Christ Redemption and Regeneration   *** BORN AGAIN *** WE become *** NEW CREATION ***
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.(2Cor.5:17)The renewed man acts upon new principles, by new rules, with new ends, and in new company. The believer is created anew; his heart is not merely set right, but a new heart is given him. He is the workmanship of God, created in Christ Jesus unto good works. Though the same as a man, he is changed in his character and conduct. These words must and do mean more than an outward reformation. The man who formerly saw no beauty in the Saviour that he should desire him, now loves him above all things. The heart of the unregenerate is filled with enmity against God, and God is justly offended with him. Yet there may be reconciliation. Our offended God has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ. By the inspiration of God, the Scriptures were written, which are the word of reconciliation; showing that peace has been made by the cross, and how we may be interested therein. Though God cannot lose by the quarrel, nor gain by the peace, yet he beseeches sinners to lay aside their enmity, and accept the salvation he offers. Christ knew no sin. He was made Sin; not a sinner, but Sin, a Sin-offering, a Sacrifice for sin. The end and design of all this was, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him, might be justified freely by the grace of God through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus. Can any lose, labour, or suffer too much for Him, who gave his beloved Son to be the Sacrifice for their sins, that they might be made the righteousness of God in him?

Do you understand the Job?

Do you understand the Job?

Everybody wants to be a Prophet/Prophetess but you got to flow in_______. He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.” (Revelation 2:29)

We need to listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church.

Some people think that a prophet/Prophetess must give personal prophecies to qualify to walk in the office of a prophet. That’s partially true. He will give personal prophecies, but his revelation gifting goes far beyond personal prophecy. Personal prophecy is the lowest prophetic operation of the true prophet. I say that because some have hyper-focused on personal prophecy and miss the big picture of the prophet’s ministry. Prophetic ministry is a wonderful gift from God. Prophets also:

·         Are forerunners who make a way for “greater things” to come (Matthew 3:3)?

·         Deal with spiritual climates (Jeremiah 1:10).

·         Turn people from sin to holiness (Jeremiah 23:21-22).

·         Are front line intercessors (Jeremiah 27:18)?

·         Turn the hearts of fathers and sons (Malachi 4:5-6).

·         Challenge dead traditions of men and dangerous spirits of religion (Matthew 3:9-10).

·         Are stewards of the mysteries of God (Ephesians 3:5)?

·         Carry lamentations, mourning and woe (intercession burdens) (Ezekiel 2:10).

·         Are fore-tellers of things to come (Amos 3:7)?

·         Contend with false prophets of divination including Jezebel and Baal (1 Kings 18:19).

·         Challenge demonic territorial guards (Acts 13:7).

·         Speak to the nations and kingdoms (Jeremiah 1:5).

“Seven Laws” for success From Mike Murdock

I recently came across Mike Murdock of Inspiration Ministries “Seven Laws” for success in life thanks to another Facebook Friend. I’m recapping them here because I think they are great lessons for contemplation and reflection and provide a template for what some may consider the 7 laws you need to ponder, harness and/or live by to have true success in life. They are:

Law # 1 The Law of difference
This is having the wisdom to be able to discern difference. What makes you different from everyone else. What problem can you solve?

Law#2 The Law of the MindKnowing how to focus the mind, to rule the mind, to make the mind work for you, not let the mind control you. To learn, to be focused, to concentrate, to have a picture in your mind of what you want and go for it, like visualization. See it. Have pictures up on the wall.

Law# 3 The Law of Recognition
The thing you need is there; it’s just a matter of recognizing it. If there’s something missing in your life, there’s more than likely something you’re not seeing. Most of the time it’s right in front of your face but you are so conditioned and so distracted that you don’t see it. I like this one a lot. Tai chi helps with this, and taking the time for contemplation and meditation. What are you not seeing?

Law #4 The Law of 2
Mike Murdoch speaks of the power of covenant, and that the difference in seasons is a person. One person can change your life in 24 hours. All you need is one person to recognize what is special about you, to take you on as a mentor to you, to enter into a covenant with you. Who is that person?

Law #5 The Law of Place
Where you are is as important as what you are. Mike Murdoch speaks of Jesus, who had to leave his hometwown and preach elsewhere to be recognized. When you are where you belong, your genius emerges. So it behooves us to consider whether we are where we need to be, and if not, where is that place.

Law #6 The Law of Honor
Your future is determined by who you have chosen to honor. You must have a code of honor. Honor is a seed that will outlast a lifetime.

Law #7 The Law of the Seed
Our offerings to God are seeds that produce a harvest. There are many types of seeds in our life. Honor is the seed for access, kindness is a seed, time is a seed, love is a seed, teaching is a seed, giving is a seed. This law is to work in the financial arena as well


Which of these laws is most important to you?

God has me study the Book of James. What does the Book of James means to you?

I want to talk about the Book of James Chapter 1. Which verse or verses you like in Chapter 1 ?James Chapter 1 we learn how Christians are to deal with trials and temptations that undoubtedly will come our way. We also learn that we are to be not only to be hearers, but doers of the Word of God.  The verse I like is verse 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
 6 Perfect things in James 1:4

• Perfect work of patience (1:4)
• Perfect knowledge (Phil.3:15)
• Perfect gifts (1:17)
• Perfect law of liberty (1:25)
• Perfect faith by works (2:22)
• Perfect man by restraint (3:2)

 Why should we be swift to hear and slow to speak as James teaches us in James Chapter 1 verse 19? What are three things we can do to become “faster” hearers and “slower” speakers?

We should be swift to hear and slow to speak because it will promote peace and understanding in our relationships with one another. We want peace because, as verse 20 says, an angry man does not bring about or work the righteousness of God. It is better to esteem others before ourselves (Philippians 2:3).

To become a faster hearer:

• Don’t interrupt
• Listen with a focus on understanding
• Try to paraphrase the information back to the speaker if possible
• Take notes while listening
• Don’t speak while listening
• Remove distractions
• Concentrate on what is being said
• Listen with the intent on understanding why the message is being provided
• Discern if there is some action required on the part of the listener
• Give non-verbal encouragement to the speaker to show him or her you are engaged in the act of listening intently
• Ask God to give you patience to understand the speaker
• Pray that God will allow you to understand clearly
• Ask clarifying questions – “What do you mean by. . .”
• Ask confirming questions - “Are you saying that if. . . “
• Try to avoid thinking of how you will respond while the other person is speaking

To become a slower speaker:

• Wait until the person is finished talking before you speak (see #1 above)
• Pray silently before you speak
• Pause before answering
• Say, “Let me think about that for a second.” and do it
• “Hold your peace” or wait until someone asks your opinion before you speak
• Choose your words carefully and deliberately
• Be concise and to the point
• Before offering a response or speaking consider whether your proposed speech is in line with God’s Word
• Before you speak, ask yourself “Is this how Jesus would respond?”
• If possible seek the counsel of a fellow Christian to formulate a response

Witchcraft- Church ??

 WITCHCRAFT

When religious activity is not spiritually motivated but carnally motivated it releases a form of witchcraft. Witchcraft is a power that influences people, gives a place to demon activity, battles against the minds of men, challenges the Church of Jesus Christ, buffets the maturity of believers, hinders church growth, comes against families, marriages and relationships, and frustrates the advancement of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Witchcraft can be released through the rebellious and the stubborn, both actions described in the Word of God as workings of the flesh. Scripture says, “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” (Galatians 3:1-3).

Notice the words bewitched, spirit and flesh. The word bewitched, means to be charmed, seduced, or to be placed under a spell. The writer of Galatians ties witchcraft to the manifesting or workings of the flesh. The meaning of flesh in this scripture is the meaning the carnal mind, or better described as the earthly nature of man apart from the Spirit of God. A person, therefore, who is “governed” by the actions of the flesh, can release witchcraft upon himself or others.
Religion also releases witchcraft when it intentionally avoids the ministry of the Holy Spirit. scripture says, “Having a form of godliness but denying the power-dunamis thereof: from such turn away” (2 Timothy 3:5) This religious counterfeit can be identified because it looks like the Church, yet is carnally motivated and disregards the necessity of the power of God. That power is the ministry of the Holy Spirit Himself.

There are many religious people in the world who say they are born again yet attack the ministry of the Holy Spirit. They challenge the baptism of the Holy Spirit, miracles, and healing today, speaking in other tongues, prophecy, deliverance, fervent prayer, the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit, and much more. Rather than have Holy Spirit administered lives, ministries, and churches, they hold fast to man-made programs, vain traditions, and secular social activities.

Religion releases witchcraft when it is governed by the flesh rather than the Spirit of God. It was religious people, supposedly born again, that persistently stirred up trouble for the Apostle Paul. (Acts 15).

The basics of religion are a lack of spiritual sensitivity, hypocrisy, self-righteousness, and a form of godliness that denies the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Just get around a person who has that nasty, contentious religious spirit and you will experience the working of witchcraft from religion.

The good news is that we can, through our love for Jesus Christ, crucify that old carnal nature. scripture instructs us to take off our old corrupted manner of living and put on the new man, which is created in righteousness and true holiness in God’s likeness (Ephesians 4:22-24).
