 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: 

If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 

and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, 

God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, 

and from the things which are written in this book. 

He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. 

Even so, come, Lord Jesus! 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Revelation 22:18-21

 Overcome Evil With Good

 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12:21 

We cannot reverse evil with more evil, rather, we must reverse evil with good!

So goes the saying, 'Prevention is better than cure'. "Prevention, in what way?", you may ask. We must first think of the simple, easiest and wise ways that also have no adverse effects. Our bodies have been designed profoundly by an all-wise Creator to overcome many adverse situations. We have an immune system to combat infections. The body systems work well with proper diet, exercise and rest. This is the most important and best personal prevention method.

Secondly, as we have been taught, we should continue to practice good personal hygiene like washing of hands and covering our sneezes and coughs.

Shouldn't there be more emphasis on such things than the more complex and expensive methods of prevention which do not guarantee neither full efficacy nor full safety. If necessary, vaccinations should be considered for those whose immune systems are not strong enough because of their age or physical illnesses, of course, keeping in mind that such people will also be more susceptible to any adverse effects of the vaccines as well!

This situation is also reflected in the spiritual realm. Just as the virus works against the healthy, normal functioning of the body for which it is designed by its Maker, there are demonic thoughts and imaginations that are targeted towards influencing the mind and soul against the purpose for which it was created.

The devil uses individuals who don't acknowledge the Sovereign LORD, to fulfil his purposes. He influences people and uses them to influence others against the truth.

The first step in overcoming such deception is for each one of us to be firmly established in the truth. This will keep us from the effects of the corona virus of the lies of the devil and keep us from being deceived. Towards this, we must make sure we have a healthy diet of the word of GOD, the Holy Spirit infilling through prayer, obedience to the word and Spirit as our spiritual exercise and make sure we don't fall short of entering His rest. This rest to our soul comes through absolute surrender of our mind and all that means life to us, to GOD in worship.  

 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.
Hebrews 4:1

There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
Hebrews 4:9-10

Secondly, we must love others in word and action.

 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
John 15:12

We should not sneeze and cough anger, bitterness and envy on them but intercede for them and cover their sin with the blood of JESUS and let His love flow to them through us. Our words should be edifying as we speak the truth in love.

Hitting back at anti-Christian rules, laws and mindsets that arise with the rebellion and fury of the enemy, with similar anger and loveless truth will not be very effective in setting people free of such deceptions. It will also bring about the adverse effects of greater resistance to the truth of GOD'S love. Rather, let us make known the truth with love and spread the influence of CHRIST gently as a fragrance. This will open the eyes of those who are deceived, so that they might know the truth that will set them free.  This has a 0 percent failure rate. 

 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, 

and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

2 Corinthians 2:14

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
John 8:32

 Love never fails. 
1 Corinthians 13:8a

The corona virus of the soul is so much more dangerous than the physical corona virus, because it causes mental illness and if not healed, will lead to eternal death of the soul in hell!

The three major concerns these days are, covid 19, ungodly thinking and mindsets of rebellion against the Sovereign Creator GOD (which is the spiritual corona virus) and the bushfires in Australia that remind us of the horror of eternal hell fire.

It is an urgent call for those of us who know the truth, to arise as rescue workers to intercede, lovingly make the truth known and bring in the harvest before the great day of reckoning, the day of the LORD!

 High Things and Things Above

During these turbulent times, what does GOD expect of us as His followers?

1) We need to firstly prepare ourselves for the more difficult times ahead.

I must strengthen myself in the faith by diligent study and memorization of the Scriptures.

I must acquaint myself with the Holy Spirit and learn to live in submission and obedience to Him.

2) We should constantly purposefully humble ourselves by resetting our mind.

It is easy to get caught up with the 'High Things' of this world, politics, controversies about vaccines and so on. It is a snare of the devil to cause Christians to waste time discussing these issues, get worked up, cause unpleasantness and bring rifts between individuals.

Let us read just enough facts about the current news and not go on to fill our mind with copious opinions of people from the media. Let us then seek the LORD so that His opinion might be made known to us.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6

Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

Romans 12:16

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Colossians 3:1-4

Birds inside can fly as high as the netting of the walk-in aviary. If a bird humbles itself to come down and gets out of the door that is set low, it is free and will fly above the aviary!

Therefore I also, 

after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus 

and your love for all the saints,

 do not cease to give thanks for you, 

making mention of you in my prayers: 

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,

 may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 

the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; 

that you may know what is the hope of His calling, 

what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 

and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, 

according to the working of His mighty power

 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead 

and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 

far above all principality and power and might and dominion, 

and every name that is named, 

not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

Ephesians 1:15-21

3) Intercede according to GOD'S heart which will effect changes in situations, and people. 

 The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger. So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; and I have recompensed their deeds on their own heads," says the Lord God.
Ezekiel 22:29-31 

4) We must be willing to let go of things and activities in our life by re-ordering our values and priorities. We must discipline ourselves to set aside more time for personal and corporate prayer.

We should also give time to encourage, support and help those whose faith is being tested through trials such as sickness, persecution and poverty.

 But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.
1 Peter 4:7

5) Look for and take every opportunity to share the love and Good News of the LORD JESUS with others.

EAGLE - LESSONS

EAGLE -  LESSONS

"Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations. 

Ask your father, and he will show you; Your elders, and they will tell you: 

  When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, 

When He separated the sons of Adam, 

He set the boundaries of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel. 

  For the Lord's portion is His people; Jacob is the place of His inheritance. 

  "He found him in a desert land And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness; 

He encircled him, He instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye. 

  As an eagle stirs up its nest, Hovers over its young, 

Spreading out its wings, taking them up, Carrying them on its wings, 

  So the Lord alone led him, And there was no foreign god with him. 

  "He made him ride in the heights of the earth, 

That he might eat the produce of the fields; 

He made him draw honey from the rock, 

And oil from the flinty rock;

Deuteronomy 32:7-13

 And Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain, saying, 

"Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: 

  'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, 

and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself. 

Exodus 19:3-4

 Why do you say, O Jacob, And speak, O Israel: 

"My way is hidden from the Lord, And my just claim is passed over by my God"? 

Have you not known? Have you not heard? 

The everlasting God, the Lord, 

The Creator of the ends of the earth, 

Neither faints nor is weary. 

His understanding is unsearchable. 

He gives power to the weak, 

And to those who have no might He increases strength. 

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, 

And the young men shall utterly fall, 

But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; 

They shall mount up with wings like eagles, 

They shall run and not be weary, 

They shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:27-31

Spoil

 But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, namely, of her who dwells near her house, 

articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing; 

and you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. 

So you shall plunder the Egyptians." 

 ..And the Lord said to Moses, "I will bring yet one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. 

Afterward he will let you go from here. 

When he lets you go, he will surely drive you out of here altogether. 

Speak now in the hearing of the people, 

and let every man ask from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbor, 

articles of silver and articles of gold." 

And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. 

Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, 

in the sight of Pharaoh's servants and in the sight of the people.  

..Now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, 

and they had asked from the Egyptians articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing. 

And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, 

so that they granted them what they requested. 

Thus they plundered the Egyptians. 
Exodus 3:22, 11:1-3, 12:35-36 

When the children of Israel came out of Egypt, they did not come empty handed.

Not only were they free from the slavery of Egypt but they were loaded with the spoil of Egypt!

When we are set free from our sin and are born into the Kingdom of GOD, we must give all that we have and all that we are, for GOD.

Our ministry should be not only to see individuals set free but also to see them totally given to the service of the LORD!

And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. 

So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; 

and the multitudes marveled. 

But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons." 

Others, testing Him, sought from Him a sign from heaven. 

But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: 

"Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, 

and a house divided against a house falls. 

If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? 

Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub. 

And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? 

Therefore they will be your judges. 

But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, 

surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 

When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. 

But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, 

he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils. 

He who is not with Me is against Me, 

and he who does not gather with Me scatters. 
Luke 11:14-23 

 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, 

And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, 

Because He poured out His soul unto death, 

And He was numbered with the transgressors, 

And He bore the sin of many, 

And made intercession for the transgressors. 
Isaiah 53:12 

At Calvary, on the cross, the LORD JESUS paid the price for the redemption of souls. Now we can be His spoil and His plunder! We should give ourselves to Him with joy, so He could use us to plunder the devil and make people His spoil - His servants who would live for the LORD with joy!

Having disarmed principalities and powers, 

He made a public spectacle of them, 

triumphing over them in it. 
Colossians 2:15 

 

 When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away their spoil, 

they found among them an abundance of valuables on the dead bodies, 

and precious jewelry, which they stripped off for themselves, 

more than they could carry away; 

and they were three days gathering the spoil because there was so much.

And on the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berachah, 

for there they blessed the Lord; 

therefore the name of that place was called The Valley of Berachah until this day. 
2 Chronicles 20:25-26 

 Therefore He says: "When He ascended on high, 

He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men."

(Now this, "He ascended"--what does it mean but that He also first descended 

into the lower parts of the earth? 

He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, 

that He might fill all things.) 

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, 

and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, 

for the edifying of the body of Christ, 

till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, 

to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 

Ephesians 4:8-13

Plunder or spoil in the spiritual realm is the souls of people.

The objects of GOD'S love are people. The target of the devil are souls of people.

Thus the spiritual warfare is for people. In this, the kingdom of darkness wars against the Kingdom of Light. The devil and his demons oppose and work against everything GOD has purposed for people He created. 

Souls are being plundered by the enemy through the deception of the mind. They are led into confusion about their own gender because they do not acknowledge their Creator. 

There is rebellion against GOD. They are captivated by the lusts of this world that lure them into the hands of the devil. They become slaves of Babylon.

The devil pumps people with arrogance and pride, so that they are not in a position to receive GOD'S love and grace.

The advancement of human knowledge seems to surpass the wisdom of the Almighty GOD, causing people to place their trust entirely on the systems of the world. Knowledge is increasing while the revelation of the love of GOD is decreasing!

People have no time for GOD or for each other. People do not think it is important to take time to have their hearts filled with the love of GOD by waiting on Him. There is no time for people to share GOD'S love with each other.

Souls are decaying as they are left with hurts, bitterness and anger, like wounds that are not cleaned and dressed. Like infections, the work of demons thrive in such souls, causing mental disorders and psychiatric illnesses.

The whole world is under the sway of the evil one and the kingdom of darkness seems to prevail. But take heart, the light of GOD is shining through! As light disperses darkness, the Truth is being made known and the lies of the evil one are being exposed!! The Truth of the word of GOD is being proclaimed far and wide as never before! Souls are being set free as the Truth is made known to them. They are being set free from the clutches of the devil who has long kept them captive through his lies!

When people are set free from the oppression and deception of the devil, they should be taken as spoil for the LORD and for His Kingdom. Being filled with the Holy Spirit, all their time, personalities, skills and talents should be exploited for Kingdom use and Kingdom building. Thus the enemy will not be able to take them back. They will have great fulfilment and joy living for the LORD and serving Him. Saul was being used by the devil to persecute the early Christians. GOD apprehended him and took him over for Himself. He became a profitable servant and a slave for the LORD. 

 Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. 
Isaiah 60:1-3 

The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, Even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, The excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, The excellency of our God. Strengthen the weak hands, And make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are fearful-hearted, "Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, With the recompense of God; He will come and save you." Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, And the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, And streams in the desert. The parched ground shall become a pool, And the thirsty land springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, where each lay, There shall be grass with reeds and rushes. A highway shall be there, and a road, And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray. No lion shall be there, Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; It shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk there, And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away. 
Isaiah 35:1-10 

The Supportive Wife

 The Supportive Wife

Enhances the goodness in her husband.

Intercedes for those areas that need to be corrected.

HEART

 HEART

What is the state of your heart? 

Is it fearful?

Is it troubled?

Is it failing?

If you wait on the LORD JESUS CHRIST, it will be strengthened, whatever situation you may find yourself in!

 Say to those who are fearful-hearted, 

"Be strong, do not fear! 

Behold, your God will come with vengeance, 

With the recompense of God; 

He will come and save you."
Isaiah 35:4

 men's hearts failing them from fear 

and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, 

for the powers of heaven will be shaken.
Luke 21:26

"Let not your heart be troubled; 

you believe in God, believe also in Me.
John 14:1

Wait on the Lord; 

Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; 

Wait, I say, on the Lord!
Psalm 27:14 

Though an army may encamp against me, 

My heart shall not fear; 

Though war should rise against me, In this I will be confident. 
Psalm 27:3
