The Weekly Newsletter
Dearest friends, prayer partners and
supporters,
I write to you this week with a
burden upon my heart for you as I know that He wants you to have a
breakthrough, a victory in you life in some issue or some thing.
The Lord only ever wants the best
for you and I can tell you that regarding you life and your future
walk with Him, He knows exactly the way that you will take.
I am not talking about a
breakthrough regarding His plan for you. No, I am talking about Him
increasing His provision for you. But, you will have to submit to
His will if you want to get it.
Submission is hard for human beings to do.
Submitting to God is hard. This is seen even more obviously in the days in which
we live.
But without submission to Christ's cross their is no
covering for sin in terms of where we go in eternity. Without
submission to God's will down here in life, there is no experience
of God. God wants us to submit directly to Him.
Growth in Christ is not what you are doing for God or how much you
are blessed by Him.
By seeking first the Kingdom of God and His
righteousness, then all these things are added unto you; completed
salvation, total healing, abundant prosperity and secure protection
and covering from the devil.
This is achieved by carrying you own
personal cross and being conformed to the image of Christ. You then
find yourself hidden in His Body, under practical salvation through
the good leadership and everything will be happening for you in " fullness ',
because it is all in right order with the Word of God.
The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, the Word of
God, His Body on the earth, are all one. To see them as
separate, or yet unfulfilled is to deny the " finished work "
accomplished by Christ on the cross for us.
Now, how does that work out
practically for you in you daily walk particularly in the area
concerning breakthrough of increase and provision from Him.
When we do His will then He is
pleased and the Holy Spirit's presence becomes recognized more and
more by us and we exude the love of God as we bask in the joy of the
Lord. This awareness of His anointing is heightened in us and guess
what, things around us start to change for the better.
God bless you all
Your brother in Christ

And (He, Jesus) has put all things under His
feet, and gave Himself to be the head over all things to the church,
which is His Body, the fullness of Him that fills all in all.
(Ephesians 1:22-23)
For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead
bodily. And you are complete in Him, which is the head of all
principality and power: (Colossians 3:9-10)
And I say unto you, that you are Peter, and upon
this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell will not
prevail against it. And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom
of heaven; and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in
heaven (Matthew 16:18-19)
Surely I say unto you, Whatsoever you shall bind
on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on
earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two
of you agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it
shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where
two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the
midst of them (Matthew 18:18-20)
