Purging~

-

Blessings Kingdom Citizens.
To God be all the glory. I pray that all are truly growing deeper and closer in their relationship with the Father. Now more than ever is truly crucial for your spiritual well being.

Jesus said to the disciples "This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting." Mark 9:29. This was pertaining to the child that was possessed by a foul spirit of deaf & dumb. The disciple had asked Jesus why were not they able to cast this foul spirit out when the father of the child approach them. Mmmm a lot of things in our lives that maybe so embedded that only Fasting and Praying will purge it out.


 
Since 2006 the Lord has beseeched me to run at the end of each year. Necessary purging needs to take place. True, conviction of the Holy Spirit is a non stop work, but there are certain things at times that the Lord tell us to stop doing as far as eating, places and activites. This year for me it was certain foods. As with anything your body will start purging toxins with fasting and praying (a lot of water) to be rid of them.

The Lord took me to Daniel chapter 1 to remind me once again why this is necessary. Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were the children of Judah. They were children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science. All four Hebrews boys were to stand in the king's palace to taught the tongue of the Chaldeans and their ways.

Daniel didnt compromise his faith whatsoever when he was brought into the pagan court. Daniel requested with the prince of the eunuchs not to give him or the other three the kings portion of meat and wine as daily provision. At first the prince of the eunuchs told Daniel that it will be offensive not to accept the kings offer. But the Lord soften the prince of eunuchs heart and agreed to give Daniel and the others pulse and water for 10 days to show the difference between their appearance and the others that had been set apart for the King.

When the ten days came to an end Daniel and the other three Hebrew boys countenance appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat. Not only did their countenances appeared better than those that did eat of the king's meat but the Lord also blessed them with knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

When the Spirit nudges us to fast its very imperative to do so. That excess baggage that the Lord needs to purge from us will make room for His glory and His benefits for our spiritual life and growth. I can honestly say for the last four years of doing this I can feel and see a huge difference in my life. One thing that I would like to add is once purging has taken place you will not have a desire to return to Egypt, you will not sit around and reminisce about it. Those habits that we were living was from our own doing. When the Spirit is leading you to a "less self road" embrace it, its all for your good!!

  I come to exhort you by the mighty hand of God to go on with the Lord. Spirit speaking- "A lot of people are getting discouraged because they are looking at how big their situations or circumstances are instead of looking at what a mighty God we serve. He says that you have overestimated the enemy in your life." The enemy of your soul whole agenda is to destroy the plan of God that is concernin g your life. He knows that he can't get directly to God so he figures why not use God's people? He has no power over you; DON'T GIVE IN AND DON'T GIVE UP!! At this crucial point, there is no turning back, you've come to far to turn around now. Remember, your steps are ordered by God- follow in them. I beseech you to take up your cross and Follow Christ. I know this is an old message but the Spirit of the Lord said to "remind them again". Don't allow anyone to come in and shake you off the path God has predestined for you! For the ho...

Who's Your Friend??

-
Blessings, I want to say this in love to you all. I'm going to put this as gentle as I know how. Stop calling everyone your friend!!! Psa 27:17 "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.". Pro 18:24 "A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." The Lord Jesus Christ gave us the definition of a true friend: "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you" (John 15:13-15). The Lord reminded me of the four friends that went all the way out of their way to help a true friend to be healed by the Lord. Mark 2:4 "And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they unc...

We know that the devil comes to exploit weaknesses and if you leave cracks and crevices open, he will squeeze his way in without notification.  His job is to steal, kill and destroy the plan of God that is predestined for your life.  He is very conniving and very deceptive in his approach and we as believers must make sure that we guarded with the whole armor of God at all times.  In this day, he is coming stronger with more force but he only possesses the power that you give him.  If you do not entertain him or his little friends, then he won't have any power to overtake you. Deuteronomy 28:7 says "The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways." The devil has already lost but he is trying to take as many with him as he can, apparently just to hurt God. And however much the devil succeeds in doing this, God hurts -- like a parent does over los...
